j DINNER-BUCKET.

sPEcmicATroN forming part of Leners Patent No. 478,606, dated .my 12, 1892.

Application tiled August 28, 1891.

To all whom, iv ii/bay concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. JANEWAY,

luinbus, in the county of-' rank'lin and State the following is a specification. A

My invention relates to the improvement of portion of the vessel is designed foi` colee or The objects of my invention are to produce an improved bucket of this class wherein is provided an exterior drinking channel or way which communicates'with the lowerportion of the bucketinterior and the construction of which obviates the formation of a spout without the bucket wall or casing and to produce said channel or conduit in a neat andinexpensive manner and of such form and construction as to result in the production of but a slight projection beyond the periphery of the bucket.

A further object consists in providing my improved bucket with superior means for locking the same against entrance or removing the lid. These objects I accomplish in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-f Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved dinner-bucket in such position as to show the locking yoke or bail in perspective. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a view in elevation from a diierent point of view from that shown in Fig. 1.

- Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

a, represents the bucket, the body of which is preferably ofthe usual cylindrical form. Within the body of the bucket is supported the greater portion of a removable receptacle or internal cup-shaped section b, which preferably tapers slightly toward its inner or lower in the bucket-body by means ofv a peripheral bead b', formed therewith a short distance below the mouth thereof and which normally rests upon the upper edge of the bucket-body. Within the upper portion of the section b is telescoped or inserted a shallow receptacle c. The upper beaded edge of the receptacle c rests upon the upper edge of the section b,

while within the former is inserted the flange extension of a lid d.

d represents an external conduit or way, the

lower end portion of which communicates through an opening d2 with the lower portion of the bucket a. This Way or conduit forms but a slight rounded projection beyond the periphery of the bucket, inasmuch as it is formed by uniting with the bucket-body the longer edges. of a segment of a tube. By thus causing the edges of the tubesegment to abut against the periphery of the bucket it will readily be seen that the latter will form the inner wall of the conduit and that the necessity of' forming a complete spout on the outer side of said bucket is obviated. The upper end of this conduit d, which is atapoint near the upper edge of the bucket-body a, terminates in an upwardly and outwardly inclined tubular mouthpiece e, the outer screwthreaded end of which is provided with a suitable cap-piece e.

f represents a locking yoke or bail, whichv consists of a metallic strip bent to an approximately-U-shaped form. As shown in the drawings, the shorter arm of this bail or yoke is hook-shaped and is made to engage with a suitable keeper or eye f', which projects from one side. of the bucket-body near its upper end. The horizontal portion of the yoke f,

which is adapted to extend diametrically 4the yoke and the outer end of the staple projection g and said yoke thus locked against removal from the position described. Owing to the fact that the horizontal portion of the yoke fbears upon the upper side of the bucketlid it is obvious said yoke cannot be submitted to such downward pressure as would engage its hook end from the keeper f and that both ends of the yoke being thus fastened, as described, any removal of the lid is pre- Without the locking-bail it is evident that the latter may readily be detached therefrom and the bucket-lid supported in the usual manner in its seat.

In the use of my improvefbbucket the sections b and c are designed to serve'as separate compartments for the reception of solid food, while a space beneath said section b is made for coee or other-liquids. In drinking coffee or other liquid from the bucket it only becomes necessary to remove the cap e and by4 placing the lips over the mouthpiece e Withdraw the liquid from the lower portion of the bucket by suction. From this operation it is obvious that the liquid contained in the bucket may readily b e withdrawntherefrom without the necessity of removing the internal sections b and c. It will also be seen that the coffee reservoir or receptacle is not permanently partitioned or cut oi from the remaining portion of the bucket and that, being simply formed in the lower portion of the bucket-body, it will be readily accessible forv cleaning or other purposes. It is evident that a bucket constructed as above described Will be simple and inexpensive of manufacture and may be produced in a neat and simple form. In case it is desired it is evident that the internal sections c 'and b may be entirelyv lployed simply as a vessel for liquids.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ist In a dinner-bucket, the combination, with the bucket-body and a lid therefor, a. staple projection g and keeper f', an external conduit or Way formed of av tubular segment, as described, the edges of the latter united'with the body of the bucket, an opening d2 in the lower portion of said bucket-body through which said conduit or Way lcommunicates with the interiorof thebucket, and asuit-able mouthpiece projecting from the'upper end of said conduit, of a locking bail or yoke f, embracing` said-lid and the upper portion of said i bucket, as described, one armof said bail being provided with a hook which engages said keeperf and the remaining arm thereof being provided with a slotted opening adapted to receive the outer edge of the staple projection g', substantially as and for the purpose l specified.
